Colin Murray introduces highlights and reaction from three Premier League matches which include the London derby between Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. Fulham boss Martin Jol will have approached this match with relish given he was manager of Tottenham for three years. Still a hugely popular figure among Spurs fans, the Dutchman will put sentiment to one side as he bids to end Fulham's dismal run in league fixtures between these sides. The Cottagers have only beaten Tottenham in one of their last 10 league matches, but they triumphed easily against Harry Redknapp's side 4-0 in the FA Cup last season. The other fixtures include struggling Bolton hosting Stoke at the Reebok Stadium and Wigan travelling to the Midlands to play Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. As always there will also be a review of all the goals and incidents from Saturday's matches - with the analysis led by MOTD2 regular, Lee Dixon.

Highlights and analysis of the day's two Premier League fixtures, as Sunderland host Liverpool and Stoke welcome Norwich.

Stoke made a promising start to the season under new manager Mark Hughes, but after tough fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal they will welcome the visit of Norwich, who have never won at the Britannia Stadium in eight attempts. Plus all the goals from Saturday's games and a light-hearted look at some of the weekend's more unusual moments.

Mark Chapman introduces highlights from the Premier League, as Tottenham Hotspur take on Southampton and Aston Villa entertain Stoke. Both Tottenham and Southampton are enjoying encouraging Premier League seasons, helped in large by their contingent of young home-grown players. Southampton took the lead at St Mary's earlier this season through England hopeful Adam Lallana, but Spurs roared back in Tim Sherwood's first game in caretaker charge to eventually win 3-2. Tottenham have won all three games since Saints returned to the Premier League and the south coast club have not won at White Hart Lane since September 2003. Aston Villa play host to Stoke City in the day's other game, looking to avenge their 2-1 defeat at the Britannia Stadium earlier this season when the Potters scored from each of their two shots on target. Peter Crouch scored the winner that day against his former club.

The Baggies are equally keen to secure the spoils having spent last season at the wrong end of the Premier League table, only narrowly avoiding relegation. There is also a look back at a busy day in the Premier League on Saturday, which featured a derby double with Liverpool taking on Everton and Arsenal facing north London neighbours Tottenham.

Mark Chapman presents highlights of the day's two Premier League matches, in which Swansea host Manchester United and Southampton play Norwich. United have spent heavily this summer, with Memphis Depay, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matteo Darmian and Morgan Schneiderlin arriving to boost the Red Devils' title chances. However, Louis van Gaal's side face a tough task against a talented Swansea side who beat them at home and away last season. Southampton were one of the Premier League's surprise packages last term, ending seventh in the table to qualify for the Europa League. They face a Norwich side who won promotion from the Championship in 2014-15, just a year after dropping out of the top flight. There's also a chance to see all the goals and major incidents from Saturday's games.
